Alexia earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Sculpture from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. During her studies, she received multiple academic awards, including the Excellence in Sculpture Award (2017), the Lonnie McCormick Scholarship for Excellence in the Arts (2016–2017), and the Women’s Studies Award (2012). After graduating, she worked as an art handler at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco while continuing to develop her practice in the Bay Area, exhibiting in small galleries until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Following this disruption, she left the city to travel in a Toyota Tacoma equipped with a 1989 Six Pack camper. Living in approximately 100 square feet of shared space required a shift away from power tools and large-scale materials, leading her toward watercolor and ink as her primary mediums. Over the past five years, her life has moved through multiple vehicles, countries, and states, with each chapter of this nomadic existence shaping her practice. She has worked as a traveling artist across the Americas, as well as in small cities throughout Europe and rural regions of Asia; where place, movement, and memory have become central to her work. As this period of travel comes to a close, she is seeking a new studio space to deepen her practice and reestablish roots, remaining open to wherever life may lead next.
